The instrument measures moisture and temperature of minerals and building materials at depths up to six feet (nearly 2 meters) - simply by insertion. The digital readings are shown instantly. The MicroLance has a built-in computer which gives it the flexibility to handle a wide range of materials and water contents.

What is the MicroLance advantage?

The ability to rapidly and accurately measure the moisture content of hundreds of tons of material. There is no sampling or laborious use of chemicals, balances or ovens.

The key to the MicroLance is the streamlined sensor known for its shape as the warhead. This robust and accurate sensor can penetrate many feet into large loads, which is particularly important as water usually settles in the most inaccessible lower parts of the bulk. The reading is made instantaneously, allowing large quantities of material to be rapidly tested. An 'averager' facility provides a single reading for the whole of the bulk.

With thousands of users in many industries around the world, the amazing simplicity, speed of use and accuracy have made the MicroLance the perfect instrument for bulk moisture measurement.
